People
At TreeWear the aim is to have a positive social impact by providing members of women self-help groups in rural Maharashtra with the appropriate skills and tools required to manufacture our high-quality natural alternatives. They hope to strengthen this process and have a wider impact as we keep innovating products that support rural communities by connecting them to urban customers. They currently have 1 full-time male artisan and 10 part-time female artisans.
Planet
At TreeWear, each product has been thought through, from ingredient to packaging, to ensure that they create as little waste as is possible. Upcycling & Recycling are at the core of the philosophy - we are constantly finding innovative ways to use discarded materials. They take steps to ensure that they waste as little as possible and are constantly trying to find new ways to avoid using plastic when packaging the products. The discharge from manufacturing processes is used to safely water plants and the packaging of their raw materials is responsibly recycled.
